The phone rings. I wait for the answering machine to get it, but it does not. I exhale（呼 气）,annoyed because I know the call would be the latest of 300 attempts to sell me products.
“Daddy, it's me. ” It's Alyce, my 12-year-old daughter “Mommy was just in a car accident.
My heart stops and then begins beating wildly.
“Are you all right?”
“Yes. ”
“Is Mommy?”
A deep sob “ I don't know. . . I don't think so. Come quick. ”
I sprint a few blocks to what looks like a scene of a disaster movie. A city bus is on the wrong side of the road, in front of which are the remains of Susan's car. Susan is severely injured but fortunately, still alive. Alyce is standing on the comer, uninjured.
Two years later at an event, our temple's musical director insisted that Susan and I had to meet someone. He returned with a woman with a bright smile. She told us, "When the accident happened that morning, I had rushed to the street and seen Alyce standing by the side of the car, crying. She wanted to call you but her phone was trapped inside the damaged vehicle. So I lent her my phone."
We had our photo taken together and introduced ourselves to each other. After hearing my name, she paused, as if maybe she hadn't heard me.
